Some Kaslo-Slocan Railway Co.
money is circulating in Kaslo this
week. It was paid by the company to G. 0. Buchanan for lum-
t ber, and by him paid to his workmen.
^ Robt. Irving, secretary of the
Kaslo-Slocan R'y Co., is heartily
" welcomed to Kootenay. He has
tipened the offices of the company
in what was formerly the post-
viffice buildi'.ig.
J. H. Gray, the new engineer of
ihe Kaslo-Slocan railway, arrived
Ibis morning and will immediately make a trip over the proposed line. He will then run the
final survey for the road, It is reported on good authority that
other engineers and the contractors
iire now on the way here from St.
Paul.
A gentleman in Duluth concludes a business letter to a West
Kootenay business man with the
following remark: "A few weeks
itgo Messrs. Foley and Guthry of
St. Paul, old acquaintances of
mine, informed me that during the
'coming summer they would build
the line of railway from Kaslo to
Slocan lake, They have abundant
means of their own to build and
'equip that road and I have no
doubt of their doing what they
say."
Work oh one ot the scows being
built here by the railroad company
is well advanced, and it will be
completed in three weeks. These
scows when constructed will be
Used to transport tho locomotives
and building material of the Kaslo-
Slocan railroad from Bonner's
Perry to Kaslo. They will each
be 75 ft. long by 26 ft. beam and
have a carrying capacity bf 150 to
175 tons. Malcolm MacAskell is
the chief builder. He is assisted
by Capt. Buchanan, T. W. Gray
and several other carpenters. Geo.
Newman is the oakum expert.
Travel by rail and steamer is increasing, and in another month
every steamboat arriving in Kaslo
will be loaded with passengers.
Louie Lebert came here from 3
Porks two weeks ago today, built
it large blacksmith shop in two
Hays and has had plenty of business since.
The Kaslo creek improvements
undertaken by Kaslo's enterprising
Mayor and City Council are near-
ing completion. We hope in a
future number to give a detailed
ilescrlptlon of these valuable improvements.
Two Dromios are not more alike
than are the Trail creek ore and
that found in the King Solomon
and Gplden Rule mineral claims,
pnehalf mi'e from Kaslo. Customs
Officer J. F. Mcintosh is interested
in the former, and the latter was
located last wee'k by Ben Pinnfellj
a Veteran prospector.

Prof. Liddy is a close observer
and a logical reasoner, and it is to
these characteristics, rather than
any occult powers, that he owes
his reputation which is becoming
widespread. His interview published in the Spokane Times two
weeks ago was one of the best advertisements the Slocan country
has ever received.
Col. S. M. Wharton of Spokane
arrived in town Sunday morning
on his way to New Denver. We
feel sorry for the Col. We really
do. He Cannot get anything in
the Slocan that is any good. Of
course h6 owns a third interest in
the Reco, but what does that
amount to? Ii he could oniy get
a mine that has high grade ore he
would be all right. $9,200, to the
carload iB ft bagatelle. The Cliff
in Trail creek he thinks is a great
mine. It goes $200 to the carload,
less $250 for mining, shipping and
ti-eating; but then, it is in Trail
creek district and that makes all
the difference in the world. Col.
Wharton will erect a hotel in Rossland, and as he doesn't do things
by hdtveB it will be a magnificent
one modeled after one of the finest
hotels in Spbkane.
More Money for Lardeau.
Simultaneous with the rise in
silver, Messrs. Wagner & Kennedy
of this city received a telegram
from Spbkane stating that the.
money, had been deposited to their
credit to secure a bond on the Duncan and Lardo, two claims of the
Wagner, group. The amount of
the bond is $15,000 and the purchaser is Col. Peyton of the LeRoi
mine., 'The Wagner group is in
what is locally known as the high-
grade belt of the Lardeau, and is
reached by way of Nakiisp, Northeast" arm and Trout Lake.

Allen McPhee, a prospector
about 68 years of age, was taken
sick on the morning of the 2nd
inst. and died the same day. He
had neuralgia of the stomach,
which caused violent pains. When
not prospecting, Alien McPhee followed logging and [sawmill work.
He was one of the discoverers and
owners of a promising property on
Tenmile.
Little Benheti Scalded.
Little Reuben, the five-year-old
sort of C. A. Woods, the steward at
the LeRoi, met wit! a very painful
accident last Friday. Racing
around the house, he made a trip
through the kitchen, and accidentally upset a kettle of boiling water
over himself. He was badly
scalded, but is progressing nicely
under the care of Dr Keller.��� Rosb-

British ColuiuUla'K Only Smelter.
Five hundred tons of silver-lead
bullion have been shipped from
the smelter at Pilot Bay. E. W.
Herrick, president of the company
and the man who furnished a large
part of the capital to construct and
operate it, has been viewing the
property this wee^. He is from
Minneapolis, and -is greatly impressed with the limitless extent
of the mineral resoirc.es of Kootenay- ������I

Quite a little delegation of Spokane prospectors will start for the
Port Steele country about the middle of next montri. There would
be a great many more of them if
money were more plentiful, but
the merchants ofj that country
have a habit of charging about five
prices for supplies, and this has a
tendency to discourage the prospectors who don'f, have enough
cash on hand to l|uy a season's
grub in Spokane and pack it with
them into the hills*
Most of those wlift will go intend
to hunt for placer properties, although there is likaly to be more
activity in quarta jircspecting this
year. This is owing to hopeful
signs that the Canadian Pacific
will actually extend its Crow's Nest
PitsB line to the Kootenay river
this year, along the lines surveyed
last autumn.
"There are plenty of quart* properties along the Upper Kootenay,"
said an old proBpector today, "but
they have always been neglected
because there wan to way to ship
but the rock and feiip in machinery and supplies j xcept at enormous expense. Bjjf once let the
railroad graders birrn work ori the

Whom Will They Marry?
It is very difficult to get at court
secrets in England, but there is
every reason for believing that a
difference exir-ts in regard to eligible partners for the two remaining
unmarried daughters of the heir-
anparent. Princesses victoria and
Maude are very desirous of remaining English women and of living
in England, and it is stated that
both young ladies would welccme
offers of marriage from English
noblemen of sufficient rank to approach their royal state and of suf-
ficieh income to support a spouse of
royal birth with becoming dignity.
Unfortunately there does not appear to be any strong desire on the
part of the unmarried members pf
the higher nobility to become connected with the royal family. Qf
course only a peer of the thiee
higher ranks, or the heir to such a
peerage, could possibly be acceptable, and there are not many such
gentlemen still unmarried in the
ranks of the aristocracy.
The Prince of Wales, it is believed, favored the proposals of the
Prince of Naples, but the Queen
would not hear 6f it, and Princess
Maude herself expressed the strongest objection to being a Convert to
the Papal faith, even to become a
Queen of first claes rank.���Cor. Examiner.

A RUSH COMING IN MAY.
Great Activity in the Mines of tht Slocan aud Tributary Districts.
Kaslo, Apr. 5, '95.
Having returned from Spokan-
I have been asked the question:
what are the propects for Slocan
for the year?
Well, I will base my remarks on
two things: 1. The present rise
in silver, which will be 70 cents
before the month expires. 2. The
R. R. from Kaslo to Sandon,
Well up till now, I thought like
a great many others: that is paper
talk. But now it's a go. The lack
of this road was one of the greatest
drawbacks we had and, coupled
with the fail of silver, kept the
camp from being one of the greatest silver-lead camps on earth, that
I know of, and I have been to
every silver and gold camp of any
note in the States and foreign
countries. But at the same time
there is very little scientific mining
down here yet. 1 mean by that,
getting depth���running probably
a thousand feet through formation
to be rewarded by large bodies of
ore. This isn't idle or imaginary
talk, as my remarks have conic
true notably on two mines, viz: the
Alamo and the Slocan Star; Several mining men told me the Alamo was no %06d and did not go
down. As Boon as I examined the
property I pronounced it a rich
mine by getting depth, comparing
with the famous Idaho; and at
present writing the Idaho aint got
nothing to boast over the Alamo.
Reference to the manager, Mr. Jno.
Vallance, will reecho my sentiments.
It is a great country and as good
a breaking ground as e'.^r I worked
in. Wages are $3.50 per day for
miners���not a cent too much for
good men. In some they pay
muckers or trammers $3 per diem.
For a new country, and considering transportation of provisions,
etc., accommodations for miners
are all that could be desired.
I understand Jim Hill is back
of the railroad project* from here
to Sandon, which to me is sufficient evidence that it will get
there.
Of course I could go on enumerating the many fine properties
here for Capitalists to take hold
and make pay from the start, but
I will close by suiting that around
3 ForkB and especially Sandon
there will be great activity in mining, also in the 4-mile country.
Tributary to Kaslo is the Lardo
and Duncan country* Later on 1
will speak of that. cotfn1��-y. In it,
starting in on base ore and low
assays, when a depth of 30 or 100
feet is gained the grade runs up
into 300 to 1000 oz. assays,
Strange but true, without bcinj;
egotistical, I can and will state you
Will have a prosperous year.
Since I came here an old prospector took me for about 2 mile*
from town and showed me mineral
of the yery same external characteristics as Trail creek ore���no
difference, between it and the fain
ous War Eagle or LeRoi ore* It it-
covered.over with a rich iron capping. Depth can be gained., bv
drifting on it. There is and will
tbe for the uext 2 weeks snow ����
this mountain. The lead ifi 2'
feet wide, This is something new
and a new Btrike, and Kasld will
be the winher. ., ��,.
I look for a rush here by K
May.

Prof. J. J. LirftV THE '��� PROSPECTOR
BY W. D. PRATT.
This is going to be a business
year in Kootenay.
Considering the present and
prospective rise in silver, the mineral belt of the Slocan still offers
the best field in the northwest for
prospectors.
The indefinite postponement of
the Dominion election will give all
an opportunity to attend to business instead of the less profitable
calling of politics.
\YrirAin a year two serious steamboat /ires in West Kootenay have
originated in the galley, and have
directed the attention of owners,
insurance men and timid passengers to that portion of the steamboat.
The Manitoba school question
may be, as the Tribune says, one
that concerns the people of Manitoba alone, but the action of the
Dominion' government regarding
the disposition of the school fund
is the concern of all Canada.
A prime factor in the growing ill
feeling between the governments of
the two great English speaking
nations is owing to the neglect of
the United States government to
pay the award for damages in the
seal fisheries case. Uncle Sam
should pay up promptly.
While Rambler T. Lowery was
out riding the circuit, C. Encored
Smitheringale, being a politician
and a Conservative, has committed
the Ledge to the support of John
Andrew Mara. The financier and
humorist is not so imbued with
politics and may see neither
finance nor humor in the transaction.
Living burial, by placing the
victim in a dark cell, and beyond
the hearing of a human voice, and
keeping him there for months and
years until death affords relief, is
a system of torture too cruel for
even the darkest ages. Yet it still
exists in Belgium, and a woman
has received that terrible sentence.
Humanity should cry out against
it.
From holding a high place in
the eBteem of the American people,
Secretary Gresham's narrow-mindedness has sunk him to the lowest.
It is because ex-Consul Waller was
a friend of ex-President .Harrison
that Gresham refuses to extend to
him the protection which every
American citizen, regardless of
party, has a right to claim and expect. .
We have known ex-Consul Waller for several years. He is the
ablest colored mar. We ever 'met���a
greater orator than Fred Douglass,
a greater statesman than Bruce.
He is an honorable man, and we
cannot believe that there are any
just grounds for his imprisonment.
The governments of the United
States and of Great Britain should
arrest the hasty court martial sentence of the French government in
Madagascar. ,
The Montana Mining and Market Reporter classes The Prospector among "excellent papers"
of the northwest country. Thanks.
Let the Ledge ask itself whether
it died when it moved from Nakusp to New Denver, and whether
it will be any deader than it is now
When it moves back to Nakusp���
the only place left for it to move
to.
It is hard to keep track of the
Slocan newspapers���they appear
to be on wheels. The Slocan Prospector, late of New Denver, but
later of Three Forks, has moved to
Kaslo and will, try that field for
awhile.���Bonner's Ferry Herald.
THE CRITICISM IS JUST
Tie conduct of the United States
government since the Paris Arbitration has given its decision has
not been very encouraging to the
philanthropists who are agitating
that nations should settle all their
disputes with one another by arbitration. In order that such a system should succeed the nations
must agree to carry out the decisions of the arbitrators promptly
both in their letter and their spirit,
and in good faith.���Colonist.

3'ears imposed upon John Simpson
by Mr. Justice Crease for replying,
after the sentence of five years had
been pronounced, "Thank you,

part of the, executive is very unusual, but, of course, the circum

Rossland Record.
Since the nations have agreed
upon an international monetary
conference, and it is known almost
to a certainty that something will
be done in aid of silver, capitalists
are again turning their attention
to silver investments.
If anything is done for silver the
Slocan country presents an unrivalled field for investment in
that line. It is almost an assured
fact that the Kaslo-Slocan railway
will be built during the present
year, and, with the Pilot Bay
smelter running, next to Trail
Creek, the Slocan has a brighter
��� future than any one of British
Columbia's many campn.

W. R. ALLEN,
Acting CM. Oi
Kmau onm
To tho Eleutors of Yalo-Carlboo;
Gentlemen:���In response to the
widely expressed desire of representative men in various parts of
your' district, I have decided to
come forward as a candidate at the
forthcoming, elections, in opposition to the present government.
As this is such an enormous district I am, of course, personally
unknown to a large number of you;
but I may state that I have large
interests at and around Ducks and
Kamloops, and am very desirous
for your welfare and mine, to see
this province progress more than it
has done for the last few years.
I am opposed to the policy of
protection which has been pursued
for the last sixteen years, as being
unfitted to the requirements of the
country and benefitting the few at
the expense of the many.
I join in the condemnation of
the corrupt maimer in which the
administration of the affairs of
this country has been carried on
during the time that the present
party has been in office.
I consider:���
1. That a customs tariff, if imposed nt
all, should only be for the purpose of raising a
revenue, not for the purpose of protection.
2. That free trade relations with Great
Britain and the United Slates would immcdi
ately benefit this country.
3. That ��� under existing circumstances
and the peculiar nature of the country mining
machinery should be allowed to come in free of
duty.
4. That the natural resources of the
country should be the first to be developed.
5. That iu order to accomplish this end
the country should bo opened up, the rivers
made navigable, and increased facilities for
communication and transportation afforded.
6. That the mail and other contracts le
by the government should be put up in public
tender.
7. That the strictest economy should bo
observed in the admiuistratson of tho public
service, and all unnecessary expenditure
should be stopped.
8. That all complaints in regard to the
disposal of government lands and issuing of
titles should be inquired into and any grievances redressed, and the surveys in the railway
belt completed as soon as possible.
As this district comprises so
large an extent of country it will
be impossible for me to visit every
polling division and become ac
qu tinted with the electors, but I
shall make a point of visiting as
many as possible and holding
meetings for the purpose of placing
my views on public matters before
you, and learning from you the
local requirements of each district
I have no objects of my own to
serve by asking you to support me,
but I have time that I can give to
promote the interests of this district, the province and the Domin
ion, and I shall devote it to that
purpose.
For these reasons I ask your
support at the approaching Dominion elections, and trust you will
see fit to give it to me.
Yours faitlfully,
Hewitt Boseock.

Kootenay Land Company. IDLER'S VIEW OF DOMINION POI.I-
��� TICS.
The Dominion is apparently
about to make some history. The
Manitoba school difficulty has
reached an acute stage.
By an order in council dated
March 21st, 1895, the Dominion
government practically command
the government of Manitoba to restore to the Roman Catholics the
fight to maintain and control
schools such as meet the approval
of their clergy, such schools to receive their full share of public
money.
The Manitoba legislature having
received the mandate had adjourned without taking action.
They propose to await the result of
the consideration of the question
by the parliament of Canada,
which is called to meet on April
18th.
This body has power to grant
the remedial legislation if the provincial government neglects to do
so; and the Catholic leaders seem
to be urging the Government to
finish the job they have so well begun, hy the passage of an act
through the present parliament.
This step once taken would be.
irrevokable, as such an act would
become a part of the constitution
and could never be repealed.
The Ministers who have Protestant constituencies to face have
yielded 8��. *ar to a clamorous
minority to avoid an immediate
rupture of the party, but with the
understanding that parliament
would be dissolved and the people
consulted before the final settlement of the question. Now that
the Premier has announced a session and not a dissolution, several
pf his warriors are sulking in their
tents. The latest rumour is to the
effect that the Premier will a^gree to
take no action during this session
upon the question,
Mr. Laurier is ill and has cancelled all speaking engagements.
The ties of church and race will
probably impel him in this case to
support the action of the Govern'
raent, and thereby jeoperdise the
unity of his own party.
The star of Dalton McCarthy is
in the ascendent. He is. an advocate of Tariff Reform, as ardent and
as able as Mr. Laurier, and he has
been an eloquent champion of the
Tights of Manitoba. He is now in
a position to mount the Protestant
horse and ride to victory,
It is needless to remark that
nothing has been heard from the
representatives of B. C. at this
crisis. They have simply waited
for orders. They have expressed
no opinion as to whether the Government should or should not interfere with Manitoba, or as to
whether there should be a session
or a dissolution.
Some day we may regret the attitude of selfish isolation in which
our province has been kept.
Ministers visited Kaslo and spent
an hour in the city.
The Hon. J. C. Patterson met
the Board of Trade and listened to
their representation of hardship in
customs matters and promised relief as soon as he could reach a
telegraph office���a promise which
Was well redeemed.
" The Hon, Mr. Haggart took in
the sights, the Comique among the
rest.
Both have had their names in
print this week. Mr, Patterson is
to become governor cf Manitoba in
July next; Mr. Haggart" has
punched, two of his French colleagues in tho nose, or noses, as the
case may be.

Mr. Bostock has passed through
the district and has taken pains
to meet as many as possible of the
people. To the Liberal association
nt Kaslo he expressed his willingness to abide the decision of any
representative convention of the
Liberal party of the district, as regards his candidacy. He is a man
of 30, educated as a barrister,
modest, unassuming, and in financial circumstances that put him
above the necessity of going into
politics for pickings.
If the district had been divided
into "precincts" with an arrangement of "primaries" and "proxies,"
a la Arizona, and such a candidate
had been the outcome, he would
have been heralded as a Jim
dandy.
